Best Bronzers

In order for a bronzing product to make the Best Products list, it must:

Have a superior texture that ensures even application

Not streak or look blotchy

Offer at least one convincing tan color

Have minimal to no shine (a real tan isn't shiny)

Look natural and be compatible with blush for a dimensional look

The bronzers on this list are those we found to be the top-performing options, whether you prefer powder (the predominant form), liquid, cream-to-powder, or a bronzing gel.

Each bronzing product not only is easy to apply and blend, but also produces a convincing, real-tan color and is suitable for a range of skin tones.

Those looking for a bronzing powder or liquid with noticeable shine should refer to the list of Best Face & Body Illuminating/Shimmer Products. The bronzing powders on this list have a matte or semi-matte finish, which is far more natural (at least for daytime) than trying to create a fake tan that glistens. A small amount of sheen is fine, but it should produce a soft glow, not obvious sparkles.
